Hey everyone,
Just wanted to let you know that I will be traveling to Puerto Rico till September 12th. GB Fullerton students Jaime and Marisa were nice enough to take me along with them on this trip. Mostly this trip will be leisure, we are also looking at the possibilities of planting the GB flag here!!!!!!
There is a small Jiu Jitsu school in the city that we will be staying in, so if we get a chance to train there we will take pictures and post them for everyone to see!
Thanks and we will miss our GB family while we are gone.

Has Gracie Barra changed your life? If so, we want to hear your story! Simply hit the button above and you will be redirected to the new Graciebarra.com
A Gracie Barra facility is not a slugfest arena or school yard. You’re in a professional training environment. You’re not trying to win; you’re striving to learn. The goal is not to compete with each other but to complement each other’s development. Proceed at a pace that is slow enough to ensure excellent form and everyone’s safety. Speed comes from repetition so you don’t have to artificially force it. Go too fast and you risk sacrificing proper execution which just means you develop bad habits really quickly.

Buddy week!!!
We had such a great time last year when we did this, so many new people were able to be exposed to BJJ this way. So start telling your friends and family to get ready to train. So whom ever you bring in will get to take any fundamentals class with you and if they join you will get your choice of a new gi or a 1 hour private lesson. Just let Andrew know ahead of time so we can prepare a gi for them.
The combat principles GB teaches, through interactive classes, structured curriculum, team cooperation, student-to-professor/coach relationships, and individual support, provides you with the efficient and effective Jiu Jitsu skills and techniques necessary to defend yourself during a fight. At the same time, you will also learn to apply those same values and principles to your daily life responsibilities and “battles.” Simply put, GB Brazilian Jiu Jitsu will change your life and put you in control of your life in ways you never dreamed possible.
We encourage you to share your thoughts with us, to do so simply click on the TechniqueTuesday button above!
